...Council of the Absolute only works on non-creature spells.

SHUCKS! Thanks for pointing that out haha.

Fixed!

Theoretically, with one of each turn-maker out, I count... eleven? Turns? Medomai gains doublestrike from armed, then swings with aurelia. Strionic Resonator targets Aurelia, making three combat phases, which results in six turns. Ral Zarek then goes off, getting the one in a million five extra turns.

Yes?

Also, +1, because tricolor looks plausible in Theros.

Why not Boros Charm instead of Armed / Dangerous ? It won't give +1/+1 but it is an instant with two extra modes at the same CMC.

i second Dritz

Oh goodie! a Deck of shenanigans! :) +1

Now, I only think that this deck needs more ways to get rid of things, so, Perhaps some counterspells?

Or..

Well, I hear tell that the Curse of the Swine + Anger of the Gods works VERY well. :)Same for Curse of the Swine and Cyclonic Rift

Oh, I am also +1ing because of the fact this deck does not involve Sphinx's Revelation

I know this goes against standard but have you thought of putting things like time walk, temporal mastery, lighthouse chronologist

Duh, Dritz. Should have thought of that before :P. In for sure.

@ Typhon01 if you happen to get it off the way you described you won't need 11 extra turns... 3 x Medomai with Double Strike = 24 Damage + 3 x Aurelia = 9 Damage. That would be 33 Damage

The idea is nice though...

Hmm, not sure if I'll put in the Curse combo, but we will see.

@Mytling I didn't say you needed the turns, I just said that, theoretically, It was possible.

I'm usually wary of having so many tap lands, but because your converted mana cost is so much so made up of '2,' I don't think it should be an issue. Well done.

Have you considered adding Dramatic Rescue ? I think it would help save your friends and finish your combo.

Also, Medomai can't attack on 'extra turns' so how will you kill them during those 5 extra turns? Maybe I missed something.

All together, novel concept, but a great deck! +1

I've just returned to standard constructed play, if you have a moment maybe you could take a look at the WU I'm working on and give me some tips, I don't have much experience with the last couple sets. My deck is Strange Tickling.

Thanks!

gj. +1shenanagins galore.

Have you thought of using Silence and some way to recur it on your extra turn so that they are helpless when they do actually get a turn?

What's that? Elite Arcanist + Silence combo? idk, I think that the arcanist would be better with Boros Charm which is already here. lol

Love the deck. It's clever, it's fun, it's combos, it's rare. +1

Medomai the Ageless , meet Prophet of Kruphix .

I think you might be better off replacing Stymied Hopes with either Izzet Charm or Azorius Charm , just for the sake of added utility.

Fireshrieker is in standard and gives you two procs of Medomai's effect since you dealt damage twice

Try not to have everything revolve around Medomai. Slaughter Games naming Medomai basically stops this deck dead in its tracks.

Yeah, true. But this deck isn't supposed to be that competitive (like basically all my decks), and who on earth sideboards Slaughter Games anyway haha.

@Shinkari: I think I'll keep Boros Charm for doublestrike ;). It has more uses and it costs less.

-raises hand-

I do... But if this is supposed to be casual then go ahead. Only jerks sideboard in casual games.

you do realize it says they can't attack during extra turns....
